If instead of the one hnudred and fifty or more miserably edited avd ungra- matical little sheets which are doing the race a deai more injury than good, would combine their capital for the establishment ofa great Negro organ to be published here in Wasl ington with a mau of national reputa- tion and character at its head it would de- mand the respect of all people. There is an effort being made to establish a Republican organ in Mississippi and J have been assessed to as large av amount as ! could spare at this ume. It will bea while paper and I believe it will be made a success.” The above are the remarksof the 4th auditor, John R. Lynch. If all the efforts of the “miserably edited avd ungramatical little sheets” in the interest of John R. Lynch and the colored people of Mississippi, are to be reward ed with such then the Bre heads the list of Negro “little sheets” throughout the country, to let him and his white organ, to which be has £0 liberally contributed, go by. We venture the opinion that we can name several Negro jourvals existing to-day that have said aud will say more for the race than he or his white organ can or will, and yet Jobn R. Lyuch has never contributed to any great exient to anyone cf their support, aud yet they are failures. They always will fail with such fellows as he is to the jore to help them. “Tis rather queer that Mr. Lynch who has been fostered by Spur—luck Mississippi into prominence should now devuunce the last efforts of the race to build up a Negro paper by telliog them of his liberality to build up a white one. “Upon what meat does this our modern Cresar feed that he has grown 89 great!” THAT APPOINTME Mr. Robert Terrell, our towne- man, has been appointed by Audi- tor John R. Lynch to a chiet ofa division in his department. Mr. in Terrell has always live CTS ~~ Wishington save the time (about four years) he attended college in Boston, and as a consequence he is an old citizen. We congratu- late our Bob on his good luck, for certain it is, he had no claim to such prominent recognition. We have been in the newspaper busi- ness something over fifteen years, eight years of which we have ruu the Brg, but confess that we are at the first of Mr. Terrell’s political career. He is legging up well on the ladder, and while he has a good education he will find it no boy’s play to bold his exalted po- sition when he comes before the people as a political leader, Mr. J. M. Townsend bas a recognized following in a doubtful State, (Indiana) and he is given but a 2,000 clerkship, while our Bob who has never turned a_ political wheel, so-to-speak, is treated with equal consideration. We confess that Hon. John R. Lynch is the man who brought this appoint- ment about. He also appointed his sister~in-law, Miss Sumnerville, to a “fat” place iu his office. Both these places are filled by applicants of this city; from a family and socal standpoint, they are tiptop, but from a political point of view we fail to extract any wisdom from either appointment. We would have considered it good politics bad the Anditor, having such @ rare plum to dispose of, tendered it tosome one of the innumerable bnght young men resident in eith- er New York, Indiana, Ohio, or Connecticut. Had be the best interest of the administration at heart, this is what he would have done. There’s his mutual friend(?) for instance, M. M. Holand, and who is, by the way! with Lynch, et al socially—even he would have been received—because Holland is, and has been, active in politics; and if not, why not some of his own immedite constituents from poor benighted Mississippi, who can get nothing at best? This ap- pointment must and wil) strike the average Negro desk, too, rath- er bard, when an opportunity for another Negro high in official life occurs t> elevate one by promo~ tion to get this kind of treatment; but John RK. Lynch is known for his narrow contracted views, a sample of which we give in anoth- ercolumn. We hope to hear of our Bob locating in some State or Territory where his long politica) influence(?) will be felt in the fu- ture. But why leave Washington your home, Bob, while you remain the protege of John R, Lynch? ~ CORRECTIO In our notice of the appointment of Hon. John L. Walker, of Kan- sas, in our last issue, to the posi~ tion of Purchasing Agent for the Insane Asylum of that State, at Osawatomie, we erred 1n_ stating the amount of the salary paid. In- stead of it being five hundred dol- lars per year, it is said to be two thousand and five hundred dollars (2,500) per annum. The impor- tance of the position will be ap- parent when it is known that the bond required is forty thousand dollars. This is the first appointment of its kind ever given a Negro in any Northern State. Mr. Walker takes charge on the 10th of October. He has the Brr’s best wishes for suc- cess. Hon. Julius C. Chappell, of Massachusetts, who has served in the legislature of that State, and is a prominent and active politician, has no claim upon this administra- tion. Such men must give way to non-residents and voters when it comes to receiving recognition. He may as well withdraw his pa- pers, as his State’s quota is filled by our Bob. Secretary Windom certainly has been imposed upon by somebody, elsethat State would have secured a bona fide represen- tative for its colored constituent. Col. Wm. Murrell, 1m an inter- view yesterday,, assures us that General E, Bund Grub, of Edge~ water Park, N. J., is the right man in the right place, and as+ sures ua that he will be elected. 13,000 colored voters in New Jer- sey will stand by bim, EEE Speaking for ourselves we desire to say to our esteemed and valued contemporary, the Indianapolis Freeman, that we experience the greatest pleasure in throwing the weight ot our influence on the side of the Republican party in Virginia. We support Mahone for Governor because we believe his election will be beneficial to the state, the Republi party. and ‘etge mass of our peo~ ple in Virginia, who are being systematically robbed and misre- presented by the Democratic party all over the country. As between a republican and a democrat we will support our most personai enemy, if he be a republican aspi- rant for office. Weare not stuck on Democrats. REV. DERRICK. The cowardly and unwarranta~ ble attack of the New York Age upon Rev. W. B. Derrick will now be brought to a halt. The last eflort of editors of that paper will now decide who the liars are. in another column of this paper wiil be found an affidavit by one of the parties who signed an affidavit for Fortune under a misapprehension. MAHONE DEFENDED, GEO. C. ROUNDS NOT A REPUBLICAN. HIS POLITICAL CAREER, [Editor of the ‘Free Lance.’’] MANASSAS, Va., Sept. 17, 1839. Sir:—I saw a copy of a letter trom one of your correspondent in the Manassas “Gazette” of the 13th inst., headed, ‘Mahone denounced by a Republican.” As we live in Manassas, we are at a loss to know to what school of Republicanism does this assuming Republican be- long? We desire to publish the fact that the writer is one of the ‘‘few original” office seekers that came to Virginia in the last days of Reconstruction with a mortgage in his carpet sack upon the colored voters of Virginia, based upon tke ground that the holder had carried his gun and knapsack ‘for five long weary years.” Believing that the writ was a true one, we follow- ed our master, but sivce the day- light of education has shown upon our pathway, we have learned that simply the carrying of a knapsack and musket is not the only test of Republican principles. We are not surprised when we read that Mr. Geo. C. Rounds would vote for Jefferson Davis in order todefeat the,Republican nom- inee for Governor, because he en- tertained the same views in 1876, when he chosed to vote for Peter Cooper, in order to defeat the Re- publican nominee for President. Iu 1880 he chosed to support the Ma hone Readjuster—Hancock ticket in order to defeat the Republican nominee of the Chicago Convention and had that ticket beek successful Mabone would have been the lead- ing Democrat in Virginia and Mr. Rounds one of the leaders in the Democratic party. We charge that he is not a Republican, because he has never accepted any nomination tendered by a Republican conven- tion, State or county, but has al- ways attended as an independent, one who is able to take the vessels of heaven to serve the devil with. We know the writer as as good cit- izen of his county, but his claim of being belonging to any political party, so far as the truth is concern- ed, we are prepared to state that it will not influence one Republican of the county where he is known. While Gen. Mahone would not have been my choice, as he was put in to nomination by that eminent statesman and true Virginian, Col. Lamb, who was my first cnoice, 1 stand in duty bound to support the action of a regular Republican Con- vention. Yours respectfully, Dantet Lomax. ''WENTY-SEVEN LIVES. THE TOTAL KILLING IN THE MISSI8- SIPPI RIOTING. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE PLAN- TFRS AGAINST THE COLORED FARM- ERS’ ALLIANCE—THE TROUBLE THOUGHT TO BE ALL ENDED NOW. [Special to the Republic. ] Gienwoop, Miss., Sept.—Louis Nelson and John Coleman were killed at Winter City yesterday evening, and Wilson Porter wag hung at Sunnyside this morning. This swells the total number killed in the Deltatroubles to 25, The latest reports from Minter City say that 13 white men had surrounded Geo. Allen, the Negro leader, a few miles from there. He has only one tollower and both are well armed. They will never surrender alive. A majority of the women and children from up the river who ran away from their homes and came here for protection have returned home, as they were assured that the trou- ble had about ended. It has been discovered that the Durant Commercial Co. of Farmer’s Alliance store at Durant, Miss., has been furnishing the money to the Negroes by which they procur- ed their guns. They, of coarse, did this as a regular commerciai trans- action, but they nave been resolved upon. Ths Vaiden Negro newspas per has soeen ordered discontinued. The foumber of guns captured - Rare (ie iii; proved Winchester and Spencer rifles. The plan of the Negroes becomes more diabolical as each tale is uufolded. Last Sunday four Negro excursion trains from Green- ville, Jackson, Durant and Winona were to have arrived here early in the morning. The alarm given on last Saturday caused the railroads to cancel the excursion trains. It is estimated that 1,000 Negroes were to come. The planters met at Sunnyside this morning aud unanimously adopted tie following resolutions: Wuereas, It is the sense of this meetivg that the organization known here as the Colored Farm- er’s Alhance is being diverted from its origal or supposed purpose and is being used by designing and cor rupt Negroes to further their inten- tions and selfish motives; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the planters and citizens of Tallahatchee River, hereby request the Durant Com- mercial Co. to desist from selling goods or leaning money to said ors ganizations or toa number ofthe members of said organization com- dined for distribution; that while we desire to be courteous to said Commercial Co., yet we feel that we own lives as well as those of our families, and the existence of our best interests depend upon the dis- continuance of dealings of this character, and we hereby serve no- tice that goods or other things shipped to the secretaries or mana- gers of said ailiance shall not be delivered. Resolved that the secretary of this meeting be required to notify the editor of the Colored Farmers’ Alliance **Advocate,” published at Vaiden, Miss., that the issuances of copies of his paper to subscribers at the Shell Mound, McNutt, Sun- nyside, Minter City, Graball and Sharkey post offices shall be stop- ped, and to notify him further that a disregard of this notice will be treated as it should deserve by united and outraged community. Resolved, Further, that the mem- bers of this meeting pledge them- selves individually and collectively to carry out these resolutions in letter and spirit. Resolved, That the secretary foward a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to said Durant Commercial Co. and editor of the Colored Farmers’ Alliance ‘‘Advo~ cate” by mail. —_— CATARRH CAN'T BE CURED with LOCAL APPLICATION, as they cannot reach the seat of the dis- ease. Catarrh is a blood or consti- tutional disease, and in order to cure it you have to take internal remedies. Hall's Cz . Cure is taken internally, aad‘acts directly on the blood and mucus _ surface. Hall's Catarrh Cure is no quack medicine. It was prescribe by one of the best physicians in this coun- try for years, and is a regular pre- scription, It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting di- rectly on the muens surface. The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J. Cuenry « Co., Proprietors, Toledo, O.
